What an interesting, odd place. Ngl, when I looked up vegetarian and gluten-free in Toronto, I didn't expect a pub to be one of the first places to pop up. But it did, and we checked it out!
I almost drove right past it getting there. It is in the middle of a residential neighborhood around Little Italy. Such a throw back to the neighborhood corner pub. That definitely added to its charm and our experience. As we went early, it was a little quiet but that was fine since we were just looking for a bite to eat. They lived up to expectations- gluten-free bread was available for every sandwich option and the Poutine came with vegetarian gravy. If it hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to try this oh so beloved national dish. Which might have been a good thing actually...greasy fries drowning in rich gravy topped with melting cheese curds??!? Whoever said being vegetarian is healthier was wrong! But that's neither here nor there. It was tasty and I was really happy to have been able to sample some local flavour. Got a couple of hard ciders as well which were delicioussss. Music was a little loud for the middle of the day but it's a bar so yeah. The dark wood interior was pretty swanky and from what I saw they had a pool table and some darts and the like.
Huge plus is the neighborhood. Come here and have a drink and take a stroll around. So much to see and do, and an opportunity to walk off that Poutine I know you just had to try ;)
